Central New York is no stranger to neighbors rolling up their sleeves and going to work to help one another. The latest example comes in the form of the Be A Neighbor Fund. The fund has awarded its fifth and final monetary gift to a local restaurant.
The Be A Neighbor Fund was established in January of 2021 by three local companies. Their mission was to do something to help benefit other businesses that were struggling due to the impact of COVID-19. Those three companies, or organizations, were Universal Bookkeeper, Made in Utica and McGrogan Design. Since the fund s inception on February 1st, local community members donated over $27,000 to the fund.
